Logbook Dispatch

When Columbus discovered Dominica he described it to Queen Isabella by crumpling a piece of paper to show its terrain. It has valleys, gorges, and volcanic peaks that are covered in lush green vegetation. It claims 365 rivers, 29 waterfalls, and 8 volcanic peaks. We loved the island and really had a great time exploring the rainforests and mountains. If Columbus returned today it might be the only island he would recognize, because Dominca has kept its natural beauty with very little development. We took lots of pictures and had a hard time narrowing down the ones to include. So this entry has lots of shots!
